You have no control over hatcheries and feedmills..so, you must take precautions...


.... 7 years in the poultry industry is peanut too. The industry can mess you up and give you hbd anytime any day.... get your facts right... and most importantly, never underestimate the importance of the veterinarian and your animal nutrition expert... thank me later...

Poultry business is a serious business oooooo
Uhmmm

Sammy07:
See, I no fit argue Abeq
Reasons is, my over 20yrs in poultry. I I don't seek vet advice.
My dad has been in it before I was born, I grew interest in it.

So my point it.
Doing my time as an assistant doctor (The Indians are the main doctors) in a very big farm in sw.

We always buy our medicine and vaccines in bulks and we use them timely, both 3days own, 5days own, 7days own etc.
I've worked in Hatchery, Broiler and commercial layers section.

One thing is
It depends on how you wanna rare your broilers

You can rare them for 6 weeks
In our own farm, we rare them 7 - 9 months before selling. And they do buy them in trucks, 10,000birds, 12k, 15k etc

They won't even be able to walk after been well feeded and taken their medicines accordingly.

See notes plenty I can't type

But you don't have to wait till they get infections before you start treating them.


You think it's easy to monitor water inside tanks for over 100k birds?

oluwatodimu1:
Just leave those who are small scale farmers alone o! You can take such risks with small number of birds but in a farm with over 200,000 layers with a closed housing system. You dare not risk such!
Lastly, not every individual who is called a Vet is truly one. Kindly ask for such persons VCN number.

After eating chicken here in Egypt, I concluded that what we eat in Nigeria is nothing far from chaff. Their broiler meat is stronger than layers in Nigeria and very cheap. They sell by kg. You can get live chicken of weight 5kg for 170egyptian pounds equivalent to 5270. They go all natural on the Feeding and no supplement. Trust me, in Nigeria, you can’t get it for 10k

At Agrosage 1, you have spoken the Truth but only wise and ungreedy people will listen to your write up.
My brother, this is my 9th years of poultry rearing with herbal mixtures.
Although, I only rear 51 birds at a time and I want to move on rearing like 500 birds upwards.
My only fear is how to market them . If anyone knows how to market poultry birds successfully should send me mail.

ojonugwap:
What lasota and Gumboro vaccine
Am here to learn oo

wehdone:
Thanks. They should take that advice and put it in a 20k poultry farm, and come and tell us the outcome. They should as little as use a vaccine whose coldchain was not properly maintained

Agrosage1:
You can send me a mail and have a book on rearing broilers that would guide you.

Sammy07:
That's why I did not bother to quote OP.

He might probably haven't handle about 150,000 - 300,000 birds b4.

Or we can conclude that the write up is majorly for small and medium size

Welcome back to my page. If you are new here, trust me this would be the best article on poultry business that you would read ever in your life.

Therefore, click on the follow button.

Note: I am writing from experience as poultry farmer with 7 years experience

Let us go straight to the point. What you are about to read here would open your eyes in this poultry business forever.

Knowledge is power. I was reading my Bible this morning and came across a verse in Proverbs that I want you frame it and keep in your house.

Hang it where you can see it daily. Here is the wise saying by King Solomon. “Always remember what you learnt. Your education is life, guard it well”.

What you are going to learn here is life. Every intending “Poultry Farmer” should remember and guard it well.

Pay close attention now.

Alot of vet doctors do not want you to know this secret. And few successful and profitable poultry farmers are ashamed to tell you. But today, I want you to know everything.

It will save you a lot of money. And you will be a profitable poultry farmer once you apply the knowledge you have got here.

Here is the secret knowledge; “Your broilers/layers birds do not need drugs everyday to give you result”.

The statement above is unpopular. I know you have never heard of such proposal. You have read different articles and spoke to numerous poultry farmers and what they normally complain about is how expensive birds drugs cost.

And it makes you scared of starting due to low budget.

For the experienced poultry farmers. Majority do not know the fact that their birds can grow and produce result without drugs.

For vet doctors, they know for sure that your birds don't need daily drugs to grow. But they have intentionally hidden it from you. Because they need your money to survive.

No insult to them�

They are in the business of selling Poultry drugs. And your constant patronize is what will keep them in business.

Therefore, blame yourself for not getting the required knowledge. Leave your Vet doctor and that poultry farmer alone.

I am here to help you.

Now, you will agree with me that birds are living things. Just like human beings. The difference is, their body system differs from yours.

Birds have respiratory system
Birds have reproductive system
Birds have digestive system.
And many more.

As a human being, you'll agree with me that you don't take drugs daily. You only visit your doctor, get prescriptions (after proper check-up), buy drugs as told. And take it as instructed.

And you only visit the hospital when you are sick. Your doctor might ask you to take the drugs only 7 days or 14 days and come back for check up.

Follow me closely. I am insisting that you understand what you need to be a successful poultry farmer.

Now, if you wake up in the morning. Decide to buy paracetamol and tramadol and consume 6 tablets morning, afternoon, and evening. You'll get sick within 30 days maximum.

You wouldn't only get sick. You might have spend thousands of your heard earn money buying and taking drugs that are not necessarily for your body system.

Remember, you were not sick initially. You decided to be taking drugs daily for pleasure. Or taking it so you wouldn't fall sick. But now, you are sick and plenty of money wasted.

And more money is needed to bring your health back to normal.

Now, use this example to match up with your birds. Why give them drugs daily when they are not sick?

Why?

Note that chicken drugs are expensive in Nigeria and Africa at large.

Let me tell you how some vet doctors bank on your ignorance to make money.

You venture into rearing birds newly and want to push your birds to grow faster than normal. You want to make quick sales (Quick sales doesn't equal PROFIT) within 5-6 weeks from broilers.

Since you want abnormal growth of your birds. Your vet doctor would sell a drug that could help you achieve that goal. They are zillions of boosters drugs available for impatient farmers.

So, one or two drugs would be recommend to you. They are usually not cheap. You will buy plenty sachets or bottles and be advise to be dropping in their water or mix with feed. To fasten their growth.

Let me inform you that birds consume plenty of water in a day. So, they would consume plenty of that boosters. Which directly means you are spending plenty of money daily on drugs for birds that are healthy.

At the end of 5-6 weeks, you big birds are ready for sales. But also remember that your cost of production too is big. So, you will struggle to sell your broilers at a reasonable price so you can make profit.

Note: Excessive use of boosters to increase birds growth causes incurable disease to human beings who consume the meat. And you are not coming into business to sell poison to your fellow human.

And that is where you will understand that poultry business is not as profitable as some bloggers makes it look. You need a lot of quality knowledge to be a profitable poultry farmer.

Do you remember your vet doctor? He has cash out without stress. And before I forget, excessive drugs can cause stunted grow in poultry. We will discuss about stunted growth later.

What Do You Need To Do?

Your birds can give you maximum growth in a short period of time. Without spending too much on drugs. You only visit a Vet Doctor when you birds are sick.

All you need is, quality feed. And clean water always available in the pen for your birds.

As simple as that. Buy good feed from reputable company with track record and testimony from field farmers. And give your birds at the right proportion and at the right time.

Note: Do not buy feed because their company agent told you the field is good. A poultry farmer should show you which feed to use.

Keep their pen clean 24/7. And most importantly, clean water should be available 24 hours for your birds.

Because if they eat quality feed and drink dirty water, it will lead to massive death. And lost of your invested capital. If they have enough of clean water to drink, it will ease digestion and that encourage growth.

So, the formula for maximum growth of your birds is Quality Feed+Clean Water = Net Profit.

I know it sounds simple and you might be wondering why nobody told you this or wrote about it before. The answer is simply because, I am writing from my over 6 years in the poultry industry.

And I want you to know the truth. Do not waste money on drugs. Buy drugs only when your birds are sick.

When they are not, provide them with clean water and good feed.

Your vet doctor wouldn't tell you this fact about rearing animals.

Good luck to you my friend. Go and start your chicken farm and become a profitable farmer. Do the right thing.

Be patient with your birds. [b]Quick growth doesn't necessarily translate to Quick profit in business.

MrFta:
I am equally interested in having a copy of the book on Rearing Broilers, as a guide for me. Thanks in advance. My email address is:
mrfrancisadeogun@gmail.com

wehdone:
Well, to be fair to poultry farmers, the cost of feed in Naija is definitely higher than in Egypt! Besides, the breed of chicken you bought should be what we have here as Noilers. They are kept for much longer periods (up to 6 months); thus they grow denser muscles. Their prices are fair because their economy helps the farmers, and most of their birds come from large-scale poultry farms that keep upto 100k, 1m birds. This actually gives so many advantages that I can't list here

zedman1:
Those two vaccines are very important, yet very dangerous when they fail. I usually don't repeat the dosage once I've given first dose of each. It's risky to me abeg. Plus, I've kept broilers without vaccines once and succeeded. Now, I only do layers as those ones are more rugged. I don't repeat vaccines because as the chickens advance in age, the presence of any disease like coccidiosis (which I don't see as any serious threat), even in the early stage, could lead to vaccine failure. I only keep 300 birds at most, in batches of 100 at different ages sha. I no fit give advice as those with big farms.

Get the barks of mango tree (the internal side of the bark), blend it to powder form, then soak it with clean water. Sift the chaffs away after a day. Then give them to drink. It works like magic. Your birds won't fall sick and die.
